AUGUST ACCIDENTS.

The Railwsy Gazette record Of train acci.
dents for August includes 65 collisions. 64
derailments, and other accidents. total
of 1877, In which 1877 persons were killed
and 1923 injured. In August, 1886, the &C
cidents numbered rs, the killed 81. In
jured 115. Of the killed In August, 1887,
30 were employees, 7S passengers, and 9
other persons; Of the injured SO were EN-
ployes, 232 passengers, and other persons.
Bad as was July, says the Gazette, August
exceeds it, the Chatsworth disaster swelling
the number killed to almost double the
July record, while the injured are nearly a
fourth more numerous. Unquestionably,
the widespread activity in business. making
traffic everywhere heavy, Is fully evi,
denced On the dark side of the
picture as well as on the bright.
1t Is noticeable, though. that all the passen.
gers killed were all the victims Of one
wreck, that at Chatsworth.. In fact, the
accidents to passenger trains on good tracks
are few indeed, and what there are are largely
the result of negligence In operating, thus
confirming the we'll known fact that In
track and rolling stock our best lines have
reached very high state Of perfection
This should not be forgotten In considering
the records of the country as whole
which show up our deficiencies so wildly
The plain fact, though, that negligence
In operating" on the better class OF roads
sppesrs apparently as often SIS on some of
less repute should impress the lesson
that improving tracks does not nee
essarily improve those who care for
il, and having quick acting brakes and per
fected signals does hot slwsys trsin the
men who use them"

ed unanimously by rising vote:
'Tbe Presbytery Of Emporia having
learned with pleasure that our brother, the
Rev. DR.. Lackey, has determined to devote
his entire time and energies to the specific
work of evangelical labor within the

promising field now open In Kansas for
evangelical Efforts. and knowing that DIR.
Lackey has special gifts for this particular
department of church work, we fervently
bid him God speed and anticipate rich
halvests as the result of his untiring and
jealous efforts"

INFERENT1AL MISREPRESENTATION

The Commonwealth will accept the
EAGLES thanks for republishing our reply
to the Capitals serious charges-or would
be serious charges, did they emanate from
any other source, and were they not from
ulterior motives The EAGLE will unhesi-
tatingly and proudly stand by Its record
on not only the prohibition question, but
upon all the questions hinging upon the
law which closed the open saloon: but 1t
cannot be forced to stand upon record
manufactured and uttered only for the
purpose of placing its editor In false
light. 1t would have been just as reason
able to have questioned the Republicanism
Of any paper that denounced the Credit
Mobilier scheme, or to question the moral
convictions of Epoch Arden, who made
Mabel Martin his'wife In spite of the fact
that her mother had been hung as a
witch by fanatics. The day of hetero-
dox racks and political thumb-screws
are happily past. While the Republican
platforms Of the past have embraced every
political sentiment which we hold most
dear, and while we expect to live on and
finally die adhering TO those principles, we
cannot be restrained from expressing our
convictions touching any mistakes of the
party which conserves ard protects those
principles, the howls Of any cranky crew
however mean or the falsehoods Of any
plant tools however loudly or widely rt-
tered The Capital felsifed the record so
far as 1t was able TO do so, lied by implica
ton and lied by insinuation, lied inferen

TEE REVOLUTION PROGRESSES,

Two miles from the city of Pratt on the
farm of Mr.. George Holding, may be seer
as fine specimen of hardy, long soft fibre
cotton as can be found In the rich alluvial
lands of the Arkansas river. This cotton
was not planted or cared for In any special
manner by Mr.. Holding, and for this rea-
son 1t Is In the llne of consistency and sound
Judgment to regard the cotton plant among
the certainties of cur farm products. The
writer has talked with cotton producers
from every part Of the south, On this sub
iect, and all of them were firm In their
convictions that no better cotton lands
could be found In the south than the fruit
full acres of Pratt county. 1t is not a pos
sibility only, but certainty that the cotton
plant will be a recognized element Of agri-
cultural interest with every progressive
farmer in our county.-Pratt Register.
Kansas seems to be revolutionizing the
country In good many respects. The
finds of rich coal deposits In many parts of
the state settled the question Of cheap fuel
for manufacturing purposes and the result
Is seen In the springing up Of factories on
every hand. Experiments have demon
strated tibet as good sugar can be made from
sor ghum as from the ribbon cane and the
discovery will within year or two
revolutionize the sugar producing industry
of the country. The immense salt finds In
various parts Of the state dispels whatever
of doubt there may have been as to the
practicability Of establishing packing In
terests on the most extensive scale. The
success of the Pratt county farmer above
O uoted shows that the great southern staple
can be successfully produced In Kansas;
not only go, but that the yield Is nearly or
quite double that from the average of
southern lands. If, then, double the yield
Of that staple can be obtained and with
ess labor and expense here what may We
not expect from 1t In the matter of rich
profit to the producer IS well as the manu-
facturer Of 1t among our own people.

outcome Of these agitations, and they are
to be hanged. l remember time when
hundreds of thousands of men conspired
maliciously and reasonably against the
government and death resulted-death to
thousands-yet am asked to shake hands
with these men, to help elect them 10 office,
to overlook their treason. 1 have never
heard it proposed that they should be
hanged" The honorable B. B. forgets, or
presumes that everybody else has, that he,
himself, was very conspicuous figure in
the transactions Of the party to which he
then belonged, that led directly to the con-
spiracy referred to. However, he doesn't
